Tiger Rattlesnake vs. Prairie Rattlesnake
Their ranges barely meet; both are banded or blotched rattlers of open country. A: Many thin crossbands of dark scales and flecks in the Tiger Rattlesnake; rounded brown blotches edged with thin pale lines in the Prairie Rattlesnake. B: Very small for the body, no bold face stripes in the Tiger Rattlesnake; normal size, with two pale face stripes in the Prairie Rattlesnake. Venomous: leave rattlesnakes alone and give them room.
